Glyve “Fenriz” Nagell, metal legend and half of Norwegian black metal band Darkthrone has a new job, city Councilman.
“My campaign was a picture of me holding my cat saying, ‘Please don’t vote for me.’”
Fenriz explained to Clyrvnt how he was involuntarily elected, “They called and asked if I wanted to be on the list [of backup representatives],” he explained. “I said yeah, thinking I would be like 18th on the list and I wouldn’t really have to do anything. They just need a list to be able to … well, it’s hard to talk local politics in another language.”
Now he will be required to serve as city Councilman Gylve Fenris Nagell for four years.
“Basically, I have to step in when the usual people who go to the big meetings are sick or something. Then I have to go sit there and feel stupid among the straight people.”
In the meantime, Darkthrone’s new album Arctic Thunder will be released on October 14.
